Black metal Quote by Brenda S. Gardenour Walter

““Black Metal just makes sense; its melodramatic Satanism transformed into an angry lament for human folly. But it doesn't just mourn. It also aims its epic melodies toward the old Romantic sublime, drawing the listener into the dream of a vital and resurgent earth.. a demand to return to a pre-modern wilderness in which humans purportedly lived at one with the climax forests of the Pacific Northwest.””
